Ipswich produced a dramatic late comeback to secure a 2-1 home victory over Fulham, having trailed 1-0 with just two minutes of normal time remaining. Late strikes from Abdul Ouattara (88') and captain Dara O'Shea (90+2') sealed all three points for the Tractor Boys in this matchday six clash, after Ryan Sessegnon (55') had put the Londoners ahead.

The defeat leaves Fulham still searching for their first league victory after six attempts, piling further pressure on manager Álvaro Arbeloa. The side remain stuck in the relegation zone with just two points to their name, while Ipswich celebrated their third win of the campaign.

The encounter at Portman Road was closely contested for large periods. Fulham broke the deadlock through a sensational long-range strike from Sessegnon and looked on course for their first Premier League victory of the season. However, in the 88th minute, Ouattara levelled with an equally spectacular effort that left Bernd Leno helpless, before O'Shea struck in stoppage time to complete an astonishing turnaround.

Next up, Ipswich travel to face Manchester City, while Fulham host fellow newcomers Hull City.
